The Waiting Game

We all know the economy is sucking. My 401k is on life support, my house is worth less than what I paid for it, and now, my company is laying off.

I heard two weeks ago that my team was being moved into a new organization and that we all had to interview for our jobs. Ok, a bit different, but I prepared and enjoyed a nice chat with the new VP and the other panelists.

Last week, our CEO announced that 4.5% of the company would be laid off. That’s a significant number of people when you company is close to 18,000. Rumor has it that we could hear as soon as tomorrow (Nov 6).

So now, we wait.
